and so herbert hoover would say when rose vement and hoover ran for president in 19 3-2 hoor said this is not a contest between two men but a contest between two philosophies of governments because roosevelt wants to move away from individualism what had hoover called american system and he wants different system a new deal is very different kind of system. and the american system -- versus the new deal as i said, the new deal was about expert administrators, more central government planning. emergency measures, government growth, all of this was part of the new deal that roosevelt would run belong and the way gordon and i characterize it, caricature if we were better artists is the forgotten man and the rugged individual. those are two sort of cartoon characters that sort of captured this debate between roosevelt and hoover so you have -- what we think of as rugged individual on the the left. herbert hoofer american system and we have roosevelt's forgotten man here on the right. and a roosevelt basically would say -- we need to replace the rugged individual with the forgotten man as t

and ironically, the person who coined the term was herbert hoover. i think in a way if you reach that essay that i mentioned about the pieces by frederick jackson turner, he should have e named it. he described in greater detail. he didn't just stick the landing and get the actual colorful phrase and so it was left of her hoover in a campaign speech.ll e to call the american system of individualism, this was important because if you remember your history, hoover had spent most of his career up to that point as a minings engineer in various countries around the world. world. and especially during and after world war i. he led major food relief efforts in europe, especially belgium. he wrote not a hero in this country that a national hero in belgium. so when he came back from europe he said i'm glad to be back in america because over in europe, they are taking on all of these various forms of totalitariani totalitarianism. they are becoming socialistic fascists and communists. all of these sort of collectivist totalitarian ideas. he said i'm glad to be

it was simply, as herbert hoover argued, a challenge to liberties, but were his critics fair? in 1937, loss of support for his new deal mounted. part of this was because this was on the heels of a recession in 1937, over a 10 month period, industrial production fell, stock prices also fell, and national income fell, all the while unemployment grew. people suggested that the slump occurred because the administration in attempting to balance the budget had simply cut expenditures to far. they argued that fdr needed to instead cut spending more, repeal taxes, and stop the reform measures. roosevelt watched and waited, which was uncharacteristically roosevelt. it sharply contrasted his energetic style in 1933, but influenced by the resurgence of john maynard, roosevelt asked congress to recertify the $3.7 billion. historians have suggested that his decision to adopt a policy to combat the recession marked a turning point in the new deal. it was now less about punishing the economic royalists and more about producing stabilizing features to the economy and allowing growth to occur.

you would have to go back to at least the presidency of herbert hoover when reporters submitted questions in writing, the press secretary handed it to the president and he took his time giving his response, sometimes spoken, s the modern press briefings has been in fine form since 1933. i don't see it going away after that long. >> let's bring us up again, he was saying it is not possible for a staff to speak with perfect accuracy. how much this is speaking to the fact that president trump, history story changes and the words he chooses change from minute to minute? how much is he really making it difficult for them to speak accurately? >> sarah, this is a president who gets up awfully early and doesn't require a lot of sleep. so he has his staff on their toes. of sometimes holding their breath with things that he's going to say, but in the end, remember something. of this is a president who also likes ratings. the last time i checked. the press briefings were drawing such ratings that people came up to him and said i saw you sean spicer. they'd say i saw you on csi. >> what you're saying

herbert hoover was another person, an engineer who had organized a massive effort to seize starving belgians before america was in the war, he became known as the flow star -- he relied again, on voluntary efforts. there were 2 -- i don't know what happened to the pork lobby -- there were two days where americans went without pork. the idea was to tap into america's patriotism, public spirit, and to use the american people themselves voluntarily, to create the kind of prescriptions that were needed in order to support the war effort. very similar effort was made. michael mentioned taxation, and 35% of the war or so was funded through a progressive increase tax three but, the rest of the war was funded through debt, a lot of that debt can to popular war bond campaigns. people made little money on those bonds, but everybody but bonds. they were issued in small denominations. even middle-class or poor people could show their patriotism by buying more bonds. this sets a precedent for how america would fund its worse in the future. >> the war bonds, there was a mild coercion involved. >> absolute

this was on top of the fact that during herbert hoover's presidency, the preceding president military budgets were , very low. the american military was incredibly weak and incredibly behind the rest of the world. we were something like 17th in terms of military strength and innovation. fdr, as we show all during 1940 and 1941 before pearl harbor, he has already declared emergency -- military emergencies. he has taken over power in -- with lots of executive orders and he is not putting these agencies under the control of congress or other individuals. he has 15 defense agencies under the president's office. it is called the office of emergency management and it is directly supervised by franklin roosevelt. we list some of his grabs for power. i agree, any president faced with a war emergency has to do certain things, but the extent to which roosevelt looked at this as an opportunity to really put his big government ideas into action and you especially get this with taxation. he had been wanting high rates of withholding from a huge percentage of americans for his entire life and he us
